Stock antenna issue
(1989 XJ Limited)
If I were to put the fuse in for the power antenna, the antenna will make a noise like it is trying to go down but it isn't moving at all. Is it just broken or could I attempt to fix it. Oh and how the hell do you take it out in the first place?

Ugh, thats an annoying problem. You can replace the entire unit with a non-motorized model cheaply. Fixing the power one may not be worth the effort.
you can access the bottom of the antenna to remove it via the passenger floor kick panel.

HD Radio is really awesome. Very few decks have the capabilities. The channels are CD quality and no commercials. I myself only have it in my car.

Leave the fuse out, leave the antenna up.
No problem, mine up for 10 years, still intackt.
And the stock antenna gets really really good reception.
So why mess with it.
Also, step away from the Lexus, that path leads to the dark side.
